4-H Livestock Skillathon Workshop Series

The McLean County 4-H team is hosting a unit-wide livestock Skillathon workshop series. A livestock skillathon is a hands-on, competitive educational program for youth that tests and develops knowledge and practical skills in animal science and livestock management. These workshops are designed to help youth build the knowledge and skills needed for the Illinois State Livestock Skillathon (held on November 8 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Stock Pavilion) and the Superior Young Producers Skillathon (held annually at the Illinois State Fair).

The October 21 workshop will feature stations on feed identification, calculations, and quality assurance.
